#60 Why Tech companies should not deprioritize future readiness with Rainer Karcher
“Climate activist in a suit”.
This is how Rainer Karcher describes himself.
It is an endless debate between people advocating for the system to change from the outside and those willing to change it from the inside. In this episode Gaël Duez welcomes a strong advocate of moving the corporate world into the right direction from within? Having spent 2 decades in companies such as Siemens or Allianz, Rainer Karsher knows the corporate world well, which he now advises on sustainability.
In this Green IO episode, they analyse the current backlash against ESG in our corporate world and what can be done to keep big companies aligned with the Paris agreement, but also caring about biodiversity or human rights across their supply chain. Many topics were covered such as: Why ESB has nothing to with “saving the planet”, 3 tips to tackle the end of the month vs end-of-the world dilemma, Embracing a global perspective on ESG and why the current backlash is a western world only issue, Knowing the price we pay for AI and how to avoid rebound effect, the challenge with shadow AI and why training is pivotal, and yes they talked about whales also and many more things!
